Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Apart from drawing symbols, Chu Sihan had never seen Lu Sheng draw anything else, let alone how good her drawing skills were.

However, if she can say this, she must have good painting skills.

"A Sheng, Uncle and Uncle Lai are here."

Lu Ran ran back from the outside, panting and said: "Let everyone pick things first."

The tomatoes have been ripe for the past few days. Looking at the past, they are green and red. Not to mention, it is quite pleasing to look at.

Lu Sheng nodded, she put away the folding fan, and hurriedly asked everyone to stop what they were doing, and help pick tomatoes and millet peppers first.

"I've met Master Chu!"

He Lai and He Qin walked in and bowed to Chu Sihan.

"You two uncles, don't meet outsiders. You don't need to salute me when you see me in the future."

His "two uncles" startled He Lai and He Qin at the same time, and then looked at Lu Sheng at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng didn't pay attention to what Chu Sihan said just now, but directed everyone to pick things.

"Uh...yes!"

The two had no choice but to nod with a dry smile.

They never dreamed that one day they would become Chu Sihan's "uncle".

Especially He Lai, for him, Chu Sihan is an unattainable existence, and he has always admired him.

Unexpectedly, one day, his admiration actually called him "uncle". If he told his classmates and friends about this, they would probably call him wishful thinking.

Chu Sihan didn't bother to guess what was going on in their hearts.

After he and the two nodded slightly, he also naturally picked up the basket and helped pick tomatoes.

This scene left the two of them stunned for a while.

"Xiao Ran, how... how can Master Chu dare to do such a heavy job?"

He Qin pulled Lu Ran over and asked tremblingly.

Seeing the reactions of He Lai and He Qin, Lu Ran, who had been anxious before, felt a lot calmer in his heart.

"Master Chu did it voluntarily, so we can help."

Lu Ran really wanted to know how they would react when they saw that even the third prince went down the river to fish for shrimps.

He Qin blinked, "But, I have one more thing to discuss with Xiao Sheng."

"What do you want to discuss with me, uncle?"

When Lu Sheng walked towards them, he happened to hear the words of the marriage.

"Then you talk, Xiao Ran and I will help."

He Lai bent down and took two baskets, one for himself and the other for Lu Ran.

"Uncle, let's talk in the tea room."

Lu Sheng led He Qin into the small tea room next to him.

After taking his seat, Lu Sheng poured the tea before asking: "Uncle, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"Did you know there is a tavern next to our Lu's restaurant?"

Lu Sheng nodded, "I know!"

"The owner of that tavern said that he didn't want to continue to open it. When your lobby uncle heard about it, he said he wanted to sell it, and then open up our restaurant and wine to expand the capacity of customers. However, he still wanted me to come and ask. you."

After all, the real owner of the Lu's restaurant is Lu Sheng, and they can't decide this matter at will.

"That's great!"

Lu Sheng nodded and said, "I'll leave the restaurant to you, and you can manage it however you like. You are also one of the owners anyway."

On her side, she is only responsible for producing the ingredients, and does not care about the rest.

He Qin nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to your hall uncle when I get back."

The number of customers in Lu's restaurants should not be underestimated. At the end of the day, there are still many people who go elsewhere because there are no seats and they can't wait.

He Qin and He Zhang have been watching these things all the time, and every time they see them, they feel distressed.

"Uncle, besides Uncle, how many other cooks are there in the kitchen?"

"Three."

Lu Sheng nodded slightly, thinking of Lu Ran's affairs, she hurriedly said: "By the way, uncle, if you have free time someday, you can go to Beishi to see if there are any shops with a better location, preferably near the downtown area. "

"Beishi?" He Qin wondered, "What are you doing looking for a shop over there?"

"Open another restaurant and let my brother and Uncle Lai take care of it. My brother doesn't study now, so he can't be kept busy in the fields."

After all, he is a scholar. Although there is nothing wrong with farming, the people in the village talk a lot, and they always like to talk about every scholar who comes back to farm.

Lu Sheng knew that Lu Ran didn't care about these things, but she didn't like to hear those self-righteous people always mocking her elder brother openly and secretly.

He Qin frowned after hearing this, "This kid isn't studying anymore?"

He didn't even know about it.

Lu Sheng nodded, "It's been a while since I went, he said he wanted to do business."

"Forget it."

He Qin sighed softly, "He has a straightforward personality, and he is indeed not suitable for an official career."

If this accidentally offends someone, it will be troublesome.

Although He Qin has never been in contact with officialdom, he has heard of the intrigues involved.

"Okay!" He nodded slightly and said, "When I get back, I will ask someone to see if there is a good shop over there."

Lu Sheng smiled, "Please trouble uncle!"

He Qin smiled and patted her on the head, "How can this be called trouble? Uncle should do these things!"

If he didn't have his little niece, he might still have to live in a mud house now, watching other people's eyes.

"Uncle, don't worry about yourself all the time, go back and see your aunt and grandma more often."

He Qin smiled, "Don't worry, uncle has already bought a small yard in the town, and will take them to live in the town together in a few days."

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded, "That's great!"

"What are you talking about? Smiling so happily?"

Chu Sihan walked in from the outside.

When He Qin saw it, he was about to get up, but was pushed back by Chu Sihan who came in time.

"Don't worry about me, uncle, I'll just come in and have a cup of tea."

He said quietly, and sat down beside Lu Sheng.

He Qin looked at him in a panic, and then at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Sihan, smiled at He Qin, "Leave him alone, uncle."

He Qin laughed dryly, and finally stood up and said, "You guys talk, uncle goes out to have a look."

Although Chu Sihan didn't do anything, as long as he sat there, people would unconsciously feel a sense of oppression, and people would involuntarily hold their breath.

He Qin felt that if he continued to sit here, he might suffocate to death.

Lu Sheng nodded, "Okay!"

After He Qin left, Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Sihan, "Aren't you picking tomatoes?"

"Suddenly thirsty, so I want to come in for a sip of tea."

The slender white jade fingers held the cup she had drunk, and then drank the rest of the tea in one gulp.

Lu Sheng blushed slightly.

She snatched back her cup and snorted softly, "There are so many empty cups, why did you pick me?"

Chu Sihan raised his thin lips slightly, propped his chin and looked at her and said, "This is the same as "there are so many girls in the world, but I only want to marry you"."

Lu Sheng rolled his eyes at him, "Sweet words."

"And only with you."

He took it easy.

Lu Sheng sighed helplessly, "You've lived here for a long time, don't you plan to go back to Chu Mansion or Linjiang Mansion?"

"There's nothing serious going on in the Linjiang Mansion recently. Besides, with Chu Yun and Ji Butou here, there's nothing to worry about. As for the Chu Mansion..."

He smiled slightly, "When the house in Lu's family is completed, they should come to the door, and I don't need to go back."

Lu Sheng: ...

Is this a made-up plan to stay here forever?

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that our Lord Chu likes doing farm work very much."

She pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "So, from tomorrow on, how about you accompany me to pollinate watermelons?"

The watermelon she planted in Lu's yard has already bloomed, and she plans to pollinate the watermelon tomorrow.

"Pollination of watermelons?"

Chu Sihan frowned, "What is a watermelon?"

"It's watermelon."

Lu Sheng got up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll find out when I go tomorrow."

He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled faintly.

"I'm going to ask my uncle something."

I don't know if the peppers picked last time can be accepted by the guests.

If everyone can accept it, she will go to Anmu Village to collect prickly ash and return it to dry. If not, she will keep the rest for herself to eat.

When she went out, dozens of baskets of tomatoes had been picked.

He Qin and He Lai are loading things into the car with everyone.

"Uncle, I forgot to ask you something."

"what's up?"

He Qin moved a basket of tomatoes to the carriage, looked at her suspiciously and asked.

"That's right, have you used up the prickly ash that I asked you to bring back last time?"

"Yes, pepper!"

When He Qin heard the word "Huajiao", he immediately reacted.

"If you don't mention it, uncle will forget about it."

He Qin patted the ashes on his hands twice, and continued: "The pepper boiled and the boiled fish, everyone loves to eat, there is only a little left now, your uncle in the lobby said that if there is any, let me take it back by the way. "

"Okay, I see."

Lu Sheng went back to the kitchen, filled the prickly ash with something, and put all the rest on the carriage.

"Uncle, when are you going back to the village?"

Lu Sheng looked at He Lai and asked.

"Go back tomorrow morning, what's the matter?"

He Lai walked to the side of the sink and asked while washing his hands.

"I want you to do me a favor."

He nodded, "You say."

"Help me gather pepper."

"Collect pepper?" He Lai stood up in doubt, "How?"

"It's very simple. After you go back, tell the people in Anmu Village to collect this kind of pepper and let them pick it up and dry it. I will give them fifty cents a catty."

"Fifty cents a catty?!" He Lai was shocked, "No one eats this thing, if you want it, I'll tell my parents after I go back, let them go to the mountains to pick it up if they have time? Why spend that wrong money?"

"That can't be done!"

Lu Sheng looked at him and said, "Grandpa and grandma are both getting old, and it's time to enjoy the blessings, yet you have the heart to let them enter the mountain?"

Seeing her look like "do you still have a conscience", He Lai was momentarily speechless.

In his impression, parents are always busy, and they don't want to let them be idle, so, as time goes by, he also feels that parents can do a lot of things.

He Qin smiled lightly, "Xiao Sheng is right. Uncle and uncle got through with great difficulty, and you let them go up the mountain again. Your son is really filial."

He Lai sighed helplessly, "I was wrong."

He looked at Lu Sheng and said, "Okay, then I'll tell the villagers when I go back tomorrow morning."

Lu Sheng thought for a while, then said: "In this way, it's fine if they want to sell their raw meat. You can tell them that raw money is twenty-five coins a catty, and dry goods are fifty cash a catty."

She was afraid that some people would not believe it, so she had no choice but to make a bad move.

They spend money to accept the raw ones, and everyone will believe them, and they also accept the dry ones.

He Lai nodded, "OK."

Lu Sheng smiled, and she went back to her room, and when she came out, she already had an extra silver ticket in her hand.

"Here is one hundred taels. You can take it. When you return to the town, you can take it to the bank and exchange it for broken silver and copper plates. If you don't have enough, you can get it from my uncle."

He Lai nodded, jokingly said, "If it's left over, I'll take it."

Lu Sheng smiled lightly, "Okay, you can keep as much as you have left, and make up for it if you don't have enough."

"It should be almost there, everyone stop, don't pick it up yet."

Seeing that the twelve carriages were full, He Qin hurriedly asked everyone to stop.

Because it is something new, everyone loves it.

These ten carts of tomatoes are usually sold out in about three or four days.

If it is overcooked, Lu Sheng will ask everyone to help pick it back and use it to make tomato sauce.

Only half a bag of millet spicy was picked, and I was afraid it would be damaged if I picked too much.

Lu Sheng would usually pick them and dry them in the sun. Dried ones are not easy to spoil, but raw ones are easy to rot.

Especially in this season, the weather is sweltering and it is easy to rot.

Speaking of spicy millet, Lu Sheng remembered that he still had a bunch of pepper seeds in his hand.

She asked Yan Wang to help buy them before.

Among them are cluster peppers, capsicum peppers, sweet bell peppers, long and bell peppers, and capsicum peppers.

In this era, without these things, if she can firmly monopolize these things, there will be no shortage of opportunities to make a fortune.

While she can still grow these things now, she has to harvest them all when winter comes.

Here, after He Qin, He Lai and the others loaded their things into the car, they were about to say goodbye to Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan when they saw Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian walking over with buckets.

Maybe it was to experience the fun of touching shrimps. Neither of them seemed to use spells, so their clothes were covered in mud, and even their faces were covered with a little bit of mud.

"Third...Third Prince?"

He Lai called out uncertainly.

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked the two of them, "Are you leaving now?"

He Lai and He Qin nodded blankly.

Good guy, seeing Chu Sihan help pick tomatoes is enough to surprise them.

Unexpectedly, the third prince actually went down the river himself just to touch the shrimp?

What did this group of high-ranking people who don't know the sufferings of the world owe their nieces and nieces in their previous lives? To be treated like this!

The two of them thought foolishly, and stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while.

"Yo, good harvest!"

Lu Sheng opened the basket, looked over, and found that the two had caught a basket of river prawns.

There are more than half of the barrels in the wooden barrels carried by Shangguan Dian.

"There are too many. If it's delicious, we'll catch it tomorrow."

Shangguandian put down the barrel and spoke with a smile.

"Today I will make stir-fried river prawns for you to eat."

Lu Sheng picked up the half bucket of river prawns and the fish basket that Lu Zhou was holding, and went straight back to the kitchen.

She asked He Qin and He Lai to stay for dinner, but they refused.

Because the restaurant was still waiting for the ingredients, they had to go back early.

Lu Sheng didn't force it.

That night, after eating stir-fried river prawns, Shangguandian threatened to go the next day.

As a result, the next day, Lu Sheng caught and raised seedlings for all kinds of peppers.

This kind of thing is easy for Lu Zhou.

After all, he did a lot when he was on the mountain in his previous life.

As for Lu Sheng, after handing over the task to Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian early in the morning, he took Chu Sihan directly back to Lu's house to pollinate the watermelon,

"This... how to do it?"

Seeing her pinching watermelon flowers one after another, Chu Sihan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Aren't they all flowers? Why have to sacrifice some?

"This is a female flower, have you seen it? A little fruit has grown below it. The thin and long ones are male flowers. They can't bear fruit. They have to be picked to pollinate the female flower."

"Doesn't it all grow fruit? Why does it need to pollinate?"

Chu Sihan asked seriously.

Lu Sheng also explained very seriously: "Because, if you pollinate, the fruit setting rate can be improved. If you don't pollinate, it will turn yellow when it grows halfway, and then it will be broken."

"I see!"

Before he met Lu Sheng, the only plants he had planted in his life were manjusawa on Huangquan Road.

However, following Lu Sheng during this period of time, I have seen a lot of things.

Sure enough, people always practice it by themselves, otherwise it will be easy to feel that these things can be bought as long as they have money.

But I don't know how much energy the farmers have to spend to form these crops.

After pollination, the two of them just returned to the vegetable field when they saw a pile of lotus pods on the table outside the courtyard.

And Lu Pao, Lu Xin, and Le Tong were busy peeling lotus seeds to eat.

Looking at the pile of lotus seed skins on the ground, Lu Sheng frowned slightly.

"It's not good to eat too much of this thing, you can't eat it anymore."

She stepped forward and bundled up the remaining lotus pods.

The three stopped their movements and looked at her eagerly.

"Second sister, this lotus seed is tender. So sweet!"

Lu Xin peeled off a white and tender lotus seed and handed it to her.

Lu Sheng took it and was about to put it in his mouth to taste, but a hand stretched out from the side and cut off the lotus seed directly.

"Well, very sweet."

After Chu Sihan swallowed the lotus seeds in his mouth, he spoke softly.

Lu Xin blinked at him, pursed his mouth, with an innocent expression.

Lu Sheng looked at him sideways, speechless.

Chu Sihan pulled out a lotus pod, snapped off the lotus seeds, and then peeled off the skin.

"Here, you have a taste too."

He took her hand and put the peeled lotus seeds into her hand.

Lu Sheng sighed softly, then picked up one and put it in his mouth.

At this time, the lotus seeds are tender and sweet, and they are really delicious. No wonder these children are greedy.

"Who gave this?"

Lu Sheng asked the three of them.

Lu Bao said: "Brother brought it back from grandma's house."

It turned out that Lu Ran went to Anmu Village to pick it himself?

Lu Sheng looked at Le Tong and said with a smile, "Tong Tong, bring some back to your sister later."

Le Tong said: "My sister already has one."

"Oh?"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Has your sister been here?"

Le Tong shook his head, "No, Brother Lu Ran sent the lotus seeds to our home, and I came here with Brother Lu Ran."

I see!

Lu Sheng smiled lightly.

She looked at the three babies and said, "Don't eat any more, you should get sick if you eat too much."

This thing is cold in nature, eating less is good for the body, people with cold body will cough if they eat too much.

Here's wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and smooth 2021 in advance! !
